This week we are doing a big celebration of moms all week. The best thing is that it's a week of free classes for people to try out. Every class...Stroller Strides, Fit4Baby, Body Back and the running club. How great is that! There have been a bunch of new moms out this week too!

peppers and cantaloupe. We’ll see how
those do in large pots outside this year.
